2012 BOSS 302 Laguna Seca sold for $450,000 at Barrett-Jackson for JDRF charity!!!

From what I heard on the Barrett-Jackson program last night. The commentator said the 2012 Boss was made specifically for the B-J auction. I didn't hear exactly what FORD included in the package to make it a 1of 1. But, we all know the proceeds are for a great cause.

Hey Richie, you did hear correctly. The only real thing that made it 1 of 1 is that it will be the only 2012 Boss 302 LS built in Grabber Blue.

Does anyone know who the buyer was?

Not sure who purchased it but it was very cool to watch! Everyone was screaming to get the bidding up. Parnelli Jones, Bob Goldberg and Bret Michaels were on stage as well adding to the hype. They were passing around these cool DVDs to everyone on the Boss 302. I think it might be a longer version of the show on TV. I had a friend that had Parnelli Jones sign one give it to me! Cool!

Wasn't it Ron Pratte that bought it? He bought Carroll Shelby's only surviving original Super Cobra for a half mil in 09, I think. He's apparently got a pretty sweet museum in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.

I figured it would be him but I didn't recall them mentioning it while I was watching it on live TV so was curious. Yes, he owns a ton of #1 production Mustangs and Shelbys. Unfortunantly his collection is strickly private and most of the cars will never be seen for years after they are purchased until he decides to sell them again if he ever does. He was thinking about oppening his collection up to the public a few years back but decided not to since insurance and liability issues were too overwhelming. Seems like a super great guy though. Although he spends a ton, he also gives a ton.

Here is a link to the auction!

I think the are going to be around $49,000.00 depending, I was going to buy one until I heard the price, why spend that much on a 5.0 when you can buy a 2011 GT500 for that, believe me, dealers are discounting them right now!
